Throughout history, on my birthday, June 12th, there have been many turning points that have altered the course of events. Such turning points include; Jon of Arc leading the French army in attacks that changed the progression of the Hundred Year’s War in 1429, Anne Frank receiving her famed diary on her 13th birthday in 1942, and President Reagan requesting President Gorbachev to tear down the Berlin Wall. Although there were many events to choose from, I chose these three for the following reasons.

Joan of Arc believed that God was giving her visions and that she needed to help with the Hundred Year’s War that was occurring at the time. Subsequently she was a woman, so, she dressed like a man in order to go to war. Following this, Joan led the French army in many attacks that reversed the path of the war. For an elongated time, the path of the war had been tipping back and forth until Joan stepped in and had an astounding week of glory at Orleans. After the war, Joan was discovered and burned at the steak. Years following her spectacles of strength and bravery, individuals began to accept the fact that a female can be a benefit rather than an obligation. Joan of Arc was later declared a saint. On June 12th, 1929, Anne Frank was born in Germany. At only four years old, Anne and her family had to flee to the Netherlands due to Nazi invasion. Nine years later, Anne received a red checked diary for her 13th birthday while living in Prisengracht. The family was in hiding above an old store in a very small dwelling. After Anne acquired the diary, she began to write about daily life in hiding and what was happing in Europe at the time. Her first entry, June 12th 1942, includes the following: “I hope I will be able to confide everything to you, as I have never been able to confide in anyone, and I hope you will be a great source of comfort and support.” Without Anne’s words and descriptions, we might not have known how dangerous life was being in hiding during...

...Special Day
My best birthday, started on a Thursday morning. It’s still 4 o’clock and I just had awoken. I assumed everyone were still asleep due to the silence in the house. I got out from my bed, took a shower with freezing water and got dressed up for school. Once I was dressed I headed for the kitchen to prepare my breakfast but before I could take a step towards the kitchen, I smelled something delicious.
Once I was in the kitchen I see my mother. I walk over to her. I see her cooking my favorite food with hot chocolate. After she served me with a plate of food and hot chocolate she kissed me in my cheeks and said “ Buon compleanno” this means happybirthday, she greeted me in Italian because she knows that my dream is to be in Italy someday. When I finished my breakfast my sisters had woken up and they come straight to me while handing a gift of bags and said “happybirthday”. Inside the bag were the chocolates that I love and a CD that has a video of my father greeting me a happybirthday. It was such a wonderful gift that I gave them a hugs and kisses for it.
I never noticed the time, I’m almost late to my first subject, I walked out the door and said “bye”. I felt really excited for what the day would bring me. I arrived at school and my teacher is absent on that day so I’m not late. I saw my classmates inside the room waiting to sing me my...

The two main characters are a boy and an old man. The old man takes care of the young child, because a refugee woman left the boy as a baby in his arms (page 7 line 26-28). The old man feels that he has been a bad father for the child, which is expressed in this part of the story:
“I haven´t been a very good father, letting you go without birthdays this long” (page 7 line 30)
The old man is kind, friendly and helpful, because he took the little baby without any expectation to get something back, like money or help from others. He spawned the little boy with his money, no help from others and his pure love like a father. The boy is very curios, because he wants to know and investigate everything. He is not missing a birthday because he does not know what a birthday is. He likes presents and if a birthday will give him a present he want one. The most boys in the age of seven years likes adventures and are not always listening to their parents like the little boy, which is investigating the tank without letting know the old man.
The old man does not like war and the soldiers. He wants to take the boy away from war, because he thinks that the boy is too young to know any better (page 10, line 131). He is almost irritated to hear about war and the soldiers (page 8, line 85 – 86).
“It´s all nonsense and meaningless, and today we´re going to forget...

...A birthday surprise!
It was 31st May of 2013 and it was my father’s birthday. He is the type/kind of person who prefers simple dinners with his own family instead of noisy celebration with relatives and friends. It was Friday and after we wished him happybirthday, he went to work. Well my father thought that we were just going to have a dinner as always. But this is what he knew while my mom and I had organized abirthday surprise. My mom had invited all his close friends and family for a party in the evening. Everything was prepared. Even I passed all the day shopping to buy a present for my father. I couldn’t wait till my father came home. Anyway he arrived sooner, I began to get dressed. I was extremely excited. My mom had the most difficult ‘task’ if I can say so. She had to convince him to wear a suit and she made it up. I think that my dad understood that he had missed something. So he began to ask where are we going and why is he wearing a dress. I told him we changed the reservation. But finally we arrived and everyone was waiting for him. When my father entered in, all began to sing the happybirthday song. I remember the look on his face, extremely surprised and indeed flattered. He had teary eyes as we ran to embrace him. Everyone had a wonderful time during father’s birthday bash. Time by time I have a look to those photos we had. It really was a...

...Birthday in China and Canada
If there is only one day you should remember in your life, it will be your birthday. Birthday is important for people in most countries; they celebrate the birthday every year. However, there is much difference between countries in birthday. Such as China and Canada, they are difference in birthday dates, celebrating ways, and traditional meanings.
One of the most obvious differences between China and Canada is their birthday dates. In China, most Chinese people could have two birthdays. One is depends on lunar calendar, another one is depends on solar calendar. The lunar birthday’s date is not match the solar calendar date every year because lunar calendar is according to the cycle of the moon. In addition, Chinese people have the horoscope like animal year which is 12 years one circle, and when people is 12 years old and the times of 12, they are wearing red clothes for good luck. When people becoming 18 years old, they becoming adult, then they are allowed to drink alcohol, get driving license. In contrast, Canadian people’s birthday depends on solar calendar. They have horoscope like Aries, Aquarius, and Cancer, which they according to calculate people’s character, and forecast future’s luckiness, but it has no special meaning for birthday. There is a saying about in Canada there is also 18 years old...
